I managed a lame "nice bench" in the "Buying a bench" thread... It's an interesting article, but at the risk of offending Ian (which I hope I don't), who is it actually for? For the first time bench builder, who might well want to follow a plan, the cost and time involved seems a bit daft for a bench that isn't tailored exactly to your needs. For the more experienced woodworker, who knows exactly what features they want, the pull out plans would seem to me to be a bit redundant for a start. I suppose my feeling is that it should maybe have more focus on the individual skills needed for certain areas (cutting those big a** dovetails, fitting vices etc - rather more like the box on fiting the tail vice really) than trying to cover the whole process in less depth. For the latter, a simpler bench in cheaper materials would seem to be more the thing. Well that's my feeling anyway, and you did ask... It's still a beautiful bench natch, and puts my drawers to shame.Pete Martin":35cbghzw said:PS. Any feedback on Ian Dalziels workbench in the new issue?
